15 Best Italian Restaurants in Eugene

“Went there tonight for my birthday and for the first time. The ambiance: amazing! Went with the family and it’s so cozy in there! The service: super attentive. Our server was very knowledgeable about every part of the menu and explained it thoroughly. Really cool pronunciation of all the menu items (I butchered everything 😂) The food: OMG, the food! We shared a margherita pizza and a seasonal polenta appetizer —it was fresh and amazing. I had the seasonal mushroom ravioli with a truffle cream sauce. My partner had the squid ink pasta. His parents each had one of the chicken dishes. We then shared two chocolate forward desserts. We left stuffed and happy. Our server kept apologizing for the speed of service but we were very happy to just chill out and visit and enjoy it all. My partner and I look forward to returning and enjoying this establishment again as a couple. I highly recommend it!“

“Seriously best pasta in Lane County. I will not go anywhere else for my birthday dinner! Service has always been amazing and the staff are so kind.“

“Food was so fresh and amazing. Out of all the spots in Eugene this is definitely my personal favorite! The star of the show had to be the pizza which was top tier, honestly a top 5 pizza I’ve had in my life. Would definitely come back here again. Food came out pretty quick as well. Only down side of this place is the wait time, but besides that, no complaints!“

“Growing up in Italy, I’ve always had high expectations when it comes to pasta, and The Old Spaghetti Factory has become one of my go-to spots here. I stop by often for their classic spaghetti with mizithra cheese and browned butter. simple, rich, and so comforting, it instantly brings me back to Sunday family dinners in Turin. The quirky, vintage atmosphere makes it even more special, almost like stepping into a storybook“

“I love this restaurant. I've been going here for years. I always recommend it to people that are looking for a great locally owned gem, have just moved here or are visiting. I love the authentic Italian food. And the building is a very cool older house with a great feel to it. I think its very romantic and a nice place to treat yourself/loved ones. Its privately owned by 2 Italian gentleman. Hence the name. Sometimes they will be at the restaurant and are very friendly and fun to talk to. I highly recommend.“

“I had the four cheese manicotti, and while not truly Italian cooking, it was fairly good, although it was much too salty. The salad did not have too much dressing.

Vegetarian options: Rather tasty eggplant Parmesan.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs.“

“Amazing service from Scott. We had a variety of pasta dishes, fried calamari and Parmesan bread. It was all delicious. Our finicky teenagers loved it! Great hip atmosphere. Highly recommend for families.“

“We had a fantastic wine dinner that took us back to Sicily. It was an amazing time with perfectly prepared dishes, paired up with some new and interesting varietals. Don’t miss out and catch the next one or just go in and have an exceptional dinner.“

“The restaurant was busy, the staff were helpful and accommodating. We put our names in (there are a handful of "table" seats, the rest are wall/counter seats - they've made the most of available floor space) and approx 40 minutes later we were seated (we were told it would be 30-40 minutes so right on time). You'll get a text when seating is ready so if you want to take a stroll around the area you can. Ordering was digital and food came out at a reasonable pace. We tried a bit of everything and didn't get one thing we didn't enjoy. We'll definitely be back! Only gave the atmosphere a 4 just because of the tighter quarters and noise level (to be expected with the space/layout/number of people). Just noting that for those that may be sensitive to those things.“

“very good food, friendly staff.“

“If you’re looking for a Classy environment and a quality cup of Joe, this is your place.“

“Awesome Place! Karaoke 🎤 Chaiyo Food Truck 😋Free Pool! Awesome Bartenders!“

“Best pizza I can remember eating. Nice staff. Fun place.“

“Hands down one of the favorite meals I've had in a very long time. Everything was cooked to perfection. The poutine is unforgettable, making my mouth water now just thinking about it. Loved the chocolate and spirit pairings were a great finish to the meal.“
